Kinetic energy is mass. Light has no kinetic energy because C is a
constant.

That is only for KINETIC ENERGY. That is not the only sort of energy.

That relates the rest mass to the rest energy. So the mass in that case is

Exactly .. and to get TO c it must have mass of ZERO.

h is a ratio between energy and frequency. Of course it will have units of
mass. That doesn't say ANYTHING about energy being mass in motion.

I said rest mass. A mass at rest is BY DEFINITION not in motion.

That is pretty much irrelevant to the formula for rest mass of the system /
object.

Though some proportion of the mass from a system with internal motion comes
from the relativistic mass of the moving components.

If it is E = mc^2, then it is not mass in motion.

If it is E = Mc^2 (where M is relativistic mass) then it is

A couple of questions:

1. Assume a photon sets out from a distant galaxy with energy at
outset of E=hf.
Although from its own point of view it keeps its energy constant,
by the time it reaches us it has redshifted quite a long way and to us
it appeard to have a reduced energy,
can we think of that discrepancy between higher energy in its
framework and its lower energy in our framework as being the entropy
gain of the photon?

I.e. can entropy be though of as the discrepancy of the same energy
when viewed in two different frameworks?

2. Assume that a rocket was using the entire mass of the universe as
fuel for its burners in order to accelerate closer and closer to speed
c.
(Need to overlook a few major, practical details which may be
important, eg how does it pick up more fuel without slowing down, how
does its engine use dark matter and dark energy?)
The rocket cannot reach speed c, as the universe has a finite mass.
But the universe cannot lose energy and so all that is left is the
rocket travelling at immense speed with a relativistic mass the size
of the universe.
(Also overlooked is that not all energy can be useful.)

The experiment started with a small rocket travelling at low speed in
a massive universe (full of lots of useful energy in that universe,
i.e. relative low entropy) and ended with a massive rocket travelling
at very high speed (not much useful energy left in its framework as
presumably entropy is now very high after all that work done has been
done in accelerating the rocket.).

Although there is very little useful energy left within its framework,
if the rocket were to be able to collide with something outside its
framework (eg neighbouring Big Bang 2 say) a rocket travelling at near
speed c with the mass of the universe should be able to do quite a lot
of work.

There is probably a flaw in the above arguments. These are not fixed
ideas ... I am just trying to learn.

OK.

> Although from its own point of view it keeps its energy constant,

Photons don't have a point of view (in the sense that they don't have any
inertial frame of reference where they are at rest). The energy of a photon
is what happens to some other object when the photon 'hits' it.

It always had reduced energy to us.

Nothing in the photon changed. The energy it 'has' in our frame is constant
the whole time. The energy it 'has' in the frame of the star that emitted
it is constant the whole time.

There is no change

I'm not sure how the mass gets into the rocket in this idea, if it wasn't
there to start with.

I accept that I can't use the photon's viewpoint. (You know I wrongly
keep trying to imagine what it is like from the photon's viewpoint.)

OK, and
re-phrasing: We calculate it has less energy (because of redshift)
that an observer seeing a similar photon soon after its emission would
have calculated it. And the greater the redshift, the less is the
energy we calculate.

Agreed. Re-phrasing again: I was originally wondering if the lower
energy in our frame compared to the higher energy in the frame of
emission of the photon was comparable to a higher entropy state in our
frame. Ie is it really less energy or is it merely less useable
energy. But I can't see it now. It must be less energy.

It is odd that redshifted light gives less energy on impact, even
though the speed of the photon is still c despite the high speed of
separation of the two galaxies where emission and absorption occur.

I was thinking of relativistic increase in mass through high speed.

<snip>


> I'm not sure what the argument is.

The idea was of doing work with the whole energy of (or most of) the
universe and so greatly increasing its entropy. But wondering if the
resultant high entropy system could still do work outside the system.
Ie energy can be different frames but can entropy also be different in
different frames.

I wouldn't be surprised if you claimed that at all. Of course, *I* have
never claimed such a thing, nor said anything that could imply that. In
fact I have said the exact opposite from my first postings here.

Yes .. they all understand you are a senile old man with anger management

No .. we don't. The rephrasing doesn't help, you still have the same
misconception. All similar (co-moving) observers record the SAME frequency.

Red shift is only able to be used as a measure of distance on the assumption
that objects further away from us are moving away faster than ones closer.

It is NOT the case that the light from a distant star is more and more red
shifts due to observers being further away .. its relativy velocity that
does this.

As far as we are concerned (ie in our frame of reference), the frequency of
light leaving the star is the same as the frequency of light arriving here
(ignoring such things as light slowing when it travels thru air etc)

Nope .. as it is all symmetric. Unless entropy is frame dependent.

Yes. Given Energy being the frame dependent value we use.

EG. if you throw a ball, in your frame the moving ball now has a lot of
kinetic energy. In the frame of the thrown ball, it is at rest (ignoring
gravity etc for now) and has no kinetic energy.

Energy, like velocity and momentum, is frame dependent.

Sorry, I was not clear enough about what I meant. I used the word
redshift to imply that the observer was moving rapidly away from the
emission source. I knew that you don't get redshift simply through
distance alone. But as Hubble related the distance of separation to
the speed of separation, it is the size of the speed of separation
which gives the amount of redshift.

The catcher of a hard, fast ball yields or retracts the hands to
reduce the relative velocity of the ball. That works and seems easy
to understand.

But with light you can't actually reduce its relative velocity. No
matter how fast you yield your hands or how fast the galaxy is
retreating from the emission galaxy, the photon still moves at
relative constant speed c. Yet the light does have less energy in
our retreating frame.

> But its momentum is less

Yes, I have checked, E=pc so p= h/wavelength which reduces with
redshift.
It does seem odd, but tracing back to where the oddness starts, it
seems to start with the existence of the redshift. Though, of course,
the redshift does exist.

Light always travels at speed c compared to any observer, but the
effort of keeping up this speed when an observer is retreating fast
makes the photon seem tired to the retreating observer. Ie energy is
lost (somewhere in this process) in the maintenance of speed c. That
doesn't sound so odd.

I will keep reading/learning.

That really makes no difference here .. in our frame of reference the light
left the start red-shifted .. it does not become redshifted along the way.

It may not sound odd .. but it is not what happens. There is no tiring of
light. It doesn't take any 'effort' for light to travel at c. That energy
'loss' is from the moment the light is emitted. It is not something that
happens over distance. That's where you are getting confused.

I know that I have much to learn but I did not think that the
'distance' aspect was confusing me. I think it was again a problem
with my previous wording. I knew that distance has nothing to do
with causing a redshift except inasfar as an observer (or the
observer's galaxy) needed distance and time to build up a high speed
worthy of calling it a Hubble size redshift. I agree that a minute
redshift could be obtained instantly by just stepping back, away, from
a torch shone at you, and that would have done just as well as an
example.

> Have a look at relativistic Doppler shift to see how it works.

Will do. Particularly trying to understand the reason why the photon
energy is reduced in the observer's framework.

Yes, the target is running away from the photon, but the photon is
still moving at relative speed c no matter fast the observer retreats.
Also, it is less energy even when only one photon is involved.

I can understand (I trust) a ball being caught by a retreating
catcher, and also doppler for sound waves, but the fact is that you
cannot reduce your relative speed wrt a photon no matter how fast you
retreat. Even though you do not reduce the photon's relative speed,
the momentum is reduced and the energy is reduced. So the retreat
works wrt energy and momentum (p) yet fails to work with the speed. I
want to understand why E and p are reduced, and I am not sure that
knowing all the maths formula will help me to know 'why'. But I will
try.

Somewhere you apologized for imaging traveling at the speed of a
photon. Why?! Is that thought experiment restricted to a teenager
Einstein only?

Consider this Ben, there far more potential frames of references than
any theoretical model can claim to have considered. I used to call
this the Infinite Perspectives Machine(s) -- plural or otherwise.

There is no "try" only "I will do." Perhaps you might learn what I
mean from this link:

http://www.hep.ucl.ac.uk/opal/gammagamma/gg-tutorial.html

While electrons collide, photons are absorbed or released. Except for
the low-lower-lowest collision cross-sectional area graphed measures
at the site above for photon-photon collisions.

Especially when I have already had an idea that the BB universe may be

But that may be only because I do not know enough about non E-M mass/

Yeup. Look at Relativistic Doppler. The frequency is lower, so the photon

I have started. The maths will keep me busy for a while longer. I

The idea of transverse redshift is very interesting, and I am
wondering if there is a transverse redshift element component to the
cosmological redshift ... but I will keep reading to find out.

Light energy is oscillating energy size to point mass. Light is
spreading out energy that comes back together as a point of light and
then spreads out again. Bond energy for the strong and electric
fields to the atomic shells have finite density energy filling their
fields. But particles are C squared point energies multiplied by gamma
for there motion and divided by gamma for their gravity. Gamma One
gives the fundamental point particle energy.

Pressure, of, by and against matter.

in Physics, work = md, where d is a distance. From F = ma we get, m
= f/a. Substituting this value of m into the first equation we get
w = f(cm)/(cm/sec^2) = pressure per second per second.

Bullshit! as proved by the compton effect, every time a photon
interacts with an atom it happens to pass, a tiny bit of its energy is
transferred to the atom and the light-waves continue on, at c, with a
trifle les energy remaining in them. THAT's why the light shifts to
the red.

The "relavistic" Doppler shift won't help you understand anything at
all. (As of now, the red shift isn't even attributed to the
recessional velocity of the source, It is asssigned to an expansion of
empty space itself!!

I can see that the Compton effect is relevant (next on my reading
list!) but is a separate issue needing to be considered in addition to
each of the redshifts caused by the velocity of observer, spacetime
inflation and gravitation.

In the Compton Effect, the incoming (indivisible) photon will be
absorbed by the atom and a new (indivisible) photon emitted. I don't
know what determines the difference in energies. I suppose it would
be a slightly different outcome for different atoms as they won't all
have an identical set of quanta available within them for emission.

substitution),
w = mad = grams x cm/sec^2 x cm
= grams x cm^2/sec^2
= mv^2.
Taken to the relativistic limit of v, that becomes
e = w = mc^2,
in which m (in grams) is the pressure a body exerts against a scale.

Light has a constant kinetic energy by its uniform speed of C. Light
absorbed sideways on to motion can have no energy shift.

Pressure is out and mass acceleration/deceleration weight is in.
Weight makes motion detectable.
